Verity Johnson: Teach tweens the difference between reality and rubbish

"Any remaining passengers on JQ431 to Auckland your plane is waiting to leave."

Bloody flight attendants; they have no sympathy for those with time management problems.

When I finally boarded, I got a glare from the woman in row 1.

I knew I was late, and that my Victoria's Secret bag was aggressively pink, but I didn't merit that much visual abuse.

Then I remembered the controversy over Victoria's Secret Pink campaign. Now, not only does Victoria's Secret corrupt innocent girls, it also makes them late for planes.

Those undies are evil.

The media storm over Victoria's Secret's latest line is hotting up. Over 11,000 people have signed the petition on change.org calling for the brand to drop their Bright Young Things range. The underwear apparently sexualises tweens - despite it being marketed to students.

Good heavens - is society trying to sexualise young girls? Never!

It's as if we hadn't had 10-year-old Thylane Blondeau modelling for Vogue. Or the then 15-year-old Miley Cyrus' topless photos. Or any music videos.

According to the American Psychological Association's report, 81 per cent of music videos contain sexual imagery.
